Surface water microlayers as reservoirs of environmental contaminants / R. James Maguire and Elizabeth J. Hale.: En36-539/09-1981E-PDF
"The surface microlayer of natural waters sometimes contains significant amounts of pollutants relative to the amounts in the whole depth of underlying water. An observation on PCBs in surface microlayers is discussed, as are data on organotins in the lower Great Lakes basin. The possible importance of the surface microlayer as a reservoir of lipophilic pollutants has profound implications for water quality modeling and monitoring programs"--Abstract.
